Instructions
- 1
Cook linguine in well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- 2
Season shrimp with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant — don't let it brown.

Add white wine (or a splash of pasta water) and lemon juice. Let it bubble for 1 minute.
- 5
Add drained pasta and toss to coat, adding pasta water a splash at a time until the sauce is silky and clings to the noodles.

Return shrimp to the pan. Add parsley and Parmesan and toss everything together.

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper.
Melissa's Notes
Reserve that pasta water — the starchy water is what makes the sauce silky and helps it cling to every strand. Can also use spaghetti or whatever pasta you have on hand.
